Well, what are you gonna do? The EUB tries to keep things fair, but really, they're all in bed together. The whole idea of dereg was to create competition and therefore lower electricity prices. Well, do you really think that Enmax, Epcor and Direct Energy are in competition at all? Nope. My guess is they hold meetings together to decide how they'll set the distribution prices. Then they just meet each other's prices. That aint competition at all.
Everyone knew dereg wouldn't work. There were no rules in place, so the system got abused badly. Live and learn, I guess.
